Dianna MOSER Obituary
Mickie was born in Harrisonburg, Va., the eldest daughter of the late John Paul and Neva (Alexander) Michael, and grew up in Waynesboro, Va.
She graduated from William and Mary in 1972 and worked as a medical transcriptionist, both for area hospitals and as her own business.
Mickie was a longtime member of St. Mark's Episcopal Church of Hampton, where she served as the parish musician, choir member, hand bell director, Vestry member, and Senior Warden. She also served and worshipped at Christ the King Episcopal Church in Poquoson and St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Newport News. Mickie was a board member of Empower Hampton Roads and the Artillery Order of Molly Pitcher.
Mickie is survived by her husband of 40 years, Gene; their two children, Paul, and his wife, Theresa, of Newport News; and Sarah Williams of Hampton; and her sisters, Sallie Lee of Bessemer, Ala., and Jeannie Michael of Hampton. She adored her four grandchildren, Hannah, Nicolas, and Noah Moser, and Brady Williams.

Dear Gene and family,
Mike and I send our sincerest sympathy to you at Mickie's passing. We have known her for 22 years. I could not have asked for a better EFM co-mentor. Mickie put all of her heart and soul into EFM, just as she did with all of her endeavors. She was one of the most self-less people I have ever known. I believe her work with the homeless was closest to her heart, second only to her devotion to her family. I miss her terribly, and can't bear to think of St. Mark's without her there. I am so sorry I was not well enough to visit with her before she left us. I have asked her to save me a place next to her in God's choir! I know she qualifies, I only hope I will! Thanks for the wonderful celebration of her life at St. Mark's. Peace to you, Gene.

Gene and family,
What a beautiful ceremony honoring Mickie at St. Mark's. Yes, Mickie would have been embarrassed for sure, for she definitely was not one to accept praise easily no matter how deserving the praise might be. She lived her life exactly as she wished, managing it down to the last details, never expecting rewards other than personal satisfaction for making life's path easier for family, friends, and those who only crossed paths by chance. She would have loved all the wonderful cooking that made its way to the social hall and would have taken great pleasure in watching others enjoy it. The world will miss Mickie, but not as much as her family. May all the delightful memories of such a special person sustain you through the days and weeks ahead. We are thinking of you.

Dear Gene,
We were so sorry to hear about Mickie. She was always such a great person and she took care of all of us at OSB functions in the hospitality suite. Please know that you and your family are in our prayers. We treasure the time we got to spend with Mickie.

Dearest Moser Family, I hope my prayers can bring you some comfort. Even though I never met you or Mickie, I know both of you so well for over 10 yrs thru the brat group. Since I recently went thru this, all of you, please take time to care for yourself. You know Mickie would want that too. I'm glad she was able to spend some time with your family. I'm sending my condolences to you.

I met Mickie in person only once, but I am so grateful. I have had her on my mind ever since you told us about her illness because you also described her personal courage.
It is easy to see that Mickie has touched many lives, especially those who have written messages to you and your family.

I'm truly sorry for the loss to your family and the world in Mrs. Moser. I found her to be a uniquely special, giving, caring person to all she knew and even those she didn't know. She should serve as an inspiration to us all in who we should be and how we should live our lives. She was truly a special person and I'm truly sorry for the loss of such an incredibly special person in your family and lives. My thoughts are with you.
